We have a couple more articles out, now.

This rabbit hole keeps getting darker and darker, the deeper we dig. Not only were the Ukraine labs real, and indeed, DTRA-funded, Metabiota and EcoHealth Alliance are directly connected to each other. However, they aren't the only DTRA-funded labs. There's also the Lugar Center in T'bilisi, Georgia, as well as labs scattered all over the globe:

Hi Spartacus,

I used to read http://vaccinepapers.org pretty regularly, and I'm guessing that you (or some of you) did as well.  VP kinda went dark/silent about the time they kicked off the scamdemic.  Good reference data on the site at least.

There is so much BS floating around these days, and a fair bit of it seems to be psychological operations of one flavor or another.  ICENI is similar to VP in terms of technical level and I appreciate it.  It would be kind of nice to get your input on other sources which identify and evaluate papers at a similar level, rigor, and skepticism.  And, or course, are not afraid to cross over into 'crime think' when it comes to rationally hypothesizing about the players and motives behind some of the observations.

There are many possible mechanisms of injury with these COVID-19 vaccines, particularly the mRNA vaccines.

  • The lipid nanoparticles, themselves, can cause rare extreme allergic reactions/anaphylaxis.
  • The lipid nanoparticles don't actually stay in the shoulder muscle; leaked biodistribution studies from Japan show that they accumulate all over the body.
  • Unlike the virus, which mostly infects cells expressing ACE2 proteins, these lipid nanoparticles have the ability to transfect ANY cell line they encounter with mRNA for SARS-CoV-2 Spike.
  • The nucleoside-modified (pseudouridylated) mRNA evades detection by toll-like receptors of the 7 and 8 types, but it may actually be blocking them, inhibiting their normal function (toll-like receptors are used by the body to detect signs of damage and respond with inflammation).
  • Nucleoside-modified mRNA is resistant to breakdown by nucleases and may persist in the body for an extended period of time.
  • The synthetic caps of the mRNA may be toxic to mitochondria, triggering cytochrome C oxidase deficiency and mitochondrial deafness.
  • The mRNA encoding the Spike may be integrated into the genome by endogenous reverse transcription.
  • The Spike in the vaccine is supposedly made inert by the insertion of prolines on the S2 side of the S1/S2 cleavage site. However, human membrane-bound proteases are still cleaving the Spike, causing the S1 subunit to float away into the bloodstream. It's not inert.
  • SARS-CoV-2 Spike S1 subunits can, on their own, even without the rest of the Spike, penetrate the blood-brain barrier by permeabilizing the vascular endothelium.
  • The SARS-CoV-2 S1 receptor binding domain has a heparin-binding motif that can aggregate amyloid. Amyloid plaques are typical in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's.
  • SARS-CoV-2 Spike has a region with superantigenic properties.
  • SARS-CoV-2 Spike can localize in cell nuclei and inhibit V(D)J recombination. If this happened in T and B cell precursors, it would cause T and B lymphopenia and immunodeficiency.

People who have severe COVID-19 have microvascular thrombosis in the lungs. Many of the ground-glass abnormalities witnessed on chest CT scans are actually indicative of pulmonary emboli.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/articles/PMC7205649/

https://www.revespcardiol.org/en-pulmonary-embolism-in-covid-19-when-articulo-S1885585720301705

These people have transient ischemia of the small vasculature of the alveoli in their lungs. And then, doctors pump in concentrated oxygen, into tissues that have been ischemic for quite a while, and people get reperfusion injury. They get reperfusion injury very, very severely, because the virus accelerates lipid peroxidation by disabling people's antioxidant enzymatic pathways. Nrf2 down-regulation means no glutathione peroxidase and other, similar enzymes to prevent ROS buildup.

https://www.rndsystems.com/resources/articles/ischemia-reperfusion-injury

There is hardly a goddamn thing about any of this in COVID-19 literature. Look it up. COVID-19 and ischemia-reperfusion injury. Not a word about it.

By invoking the inverse-sequare law, you are doing a couple things that are incorrect simultaneously. First, you are assuming a false equivalence between a beamforming antenna that sends concentrated, coherent beams of RF at a single target with an ordinary antenna that radiates energy isotropically. Second, you are also assuming that the power density of the system must be high in order to bring about any physiological effects. This is not necessarily true. It may be the case that self-assembling nanotransducers surreptitiously placed in the brain may only need to harvest nanowatts to induce profound changes in neuronal activity. The amount of energy that actually reaches them could be very small, and yet still achieve the desired effect.

LOL it's my fault now for "assuming"... how about you post something coherent beyond "may", "could", and vaguely relevant speculation. What is "high" power density? How much does your imaginary self-assembling 5G receiver need? How much does the brain-prodding thing need? How much power can the hypothetical magical physics-defying antenna harvest? Does this involve some energy storage for when I go to my basement and out of 5G signal range, or do I just snap out of the mind control thing then? "nanowatts" (better than -60 dBm) is extremely optimistic, in reality you'd be dealing with picowatts if that.
...

Just a little back of the envelope (or HP-48 emulator) scratching, with 2000 Kcal/day at 25% allocated to the brain, and about 100X10^9 neurons, the natural energy budget is about 0.000005 cal per neuron per day.  With that they must both operate their normal celular biological process and generate electrical energy for signaling.  Noting that a) the various talk, RFQ, etc were pretty much centered around a per-neuron interface, and b) a capacitor is probably one of the easier components to assemble, it seems like energy acquisition at sufficient power levels (voltages and currents) would be among the lesser of the problems.  I would think it more likely to be done by taping biological structures which already maintain a potential (mitochondria, other neurons, etc) for the most part anyway.



500 kilocalories / 100 billion neurons = 0.02 millijoules per day to run one neuron.

0.02 millijoules per day is 231 picojoules per second.

The amount of absorbed power needed for one nanoparticle to manipulate one neuron is extremely minute.

See also, magnetogenetics:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32160534/

Quote
One approach to magnetogenetics uses radiofrequency (RF) waves to activate transient receptor potential channels (TRPV1 and TRPV4) that are coupled to cellular ferritins. The mechanisms underlying this effect are unclear and controversial. Theoretical calculations suggest that the heat produced by RF fields is likely orders of magnitude weaker than needed for channel activation. Using the FeRIC (Ferritin iron Redistribution to Ion Channels) system, we have uncovered a mechanism of activation of ferritin-tagged channels via a biochemical pathway initiated by RF disturbance of ferritin and mediated by ferritin-associated iron. We show that, in cells expressing TRPVFeRIC channels, RF increases the levels of the labile iron pool in a ferritin-dependent manner. Free iron participates in chemical reactions, producing reactive oxygen species and oxidized lipids that ultimately activate the TRPVFeRIC channels. This biochemical pathway predicts a similar RF-induced activation of other lipid-sensitive TRP channels and may guide future magnetogenetic designs.

Also, see Martin L. Pall's theory of RF injury, where levels of RF below the amount required to induce tissue heating open voltage-gated calcium channels and increase calcium concentration in the cells.

https://www.emfanalysis.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/EMF-Effects-via-Voltage-Gated-Calcium-Channels-Dr-Martin-Pall.pdf

Quote
The direct targets of extremely low and microwave frequency range electromagnetic fields (EMFs) in producing non-thermal effects have not been clearly established. However, studies in the literature, reviewed here, provide substantial support for such direct targets. Twenty-three studies have shown that voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) produce these and other EMF effects, such that the L-type or other VGCC blockers block or greatly lower diverse EMF effects. Furthermore, the voltage-gated properties of these channels may provide biophysically plausible mechanisms for EMF biological effects. Downstream responses of such EMF exposures may be mediated through Ca2+/calmodulin stimulation of nitric oxide synthesis. Potentially, physiological/therapeutic responses may be largely as a result of nitric oxide-cGMP-protein kinase G pathway stimulation. A well-studied example of such an apparent therapeutic response, EMF stimulation of bone growth, appears to work along this pathway. However, pathophysiological responses to EMFs may be as a result of nitric oxide-peroxynitrite-oxidative stress path- way of action. A single such well-documented example, EMF induction of DNA single-strand breaks in cells, as measured by alkaline comet assays, is reviewed here. Such single-strand breaks are known to be produced through the action of this pathway. Data on the mechanism of EMF induction of such breaks are limited; what data are available support this proposed mechanism. Other Ca2+-mediated regulatory changes, independent of nitric oxide, may also have roles. This article reviews, then, a substantially supported set of targets, VGCCs, whose stimulation produces non-thermal EMF responses by humans/higher animals with downstream effects involving Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent nitric oxide increases, which may explain therapeutic and pathophysiological effects.

If you read the Spartacus Letter, you might notice something. The onset of sepsis in COVID-19 is presaged by a sudden, uncontrolled rise in cytosolic calcium levels, associated with a profound hypocalcemia (i.e. calcium moving from the blood and into the intracellular space). The rise in cytosolic Ca2+ leads to ROS release, which leads to lipid peroxidation, which promotes an immune and complement cascade that destroys tissue.

I know this is going to be difficult to accept, but based on this information, it is entirely possible to trigger all of the symptoms of COVID-19 with nothing more than a maser of the right frequency. No virus required at all. Or, if there is a virus (based on the contagious spread and its prevalence in rural areas with no GSM infrastructure, this seems reasonable), it would enhance this process due to the shared etiology of disease, in the manner of a binary weapon.

Uhm... another round of funding. Showing that the tech was still not "here" even in 2021.

And still talking about a "headset". Not even close to what you're insinuating.

A headset just gives you a high degree of spatial resolution. If there is a way to RF-sensitize neurons with self-assembling nanoparticles, then you could still very likely stimulate large clusters of neurons with lower precision from afar using future, high-precision versions of beamforming/MIMO.

Now you're just posting buzzwords. MIMO helps with bandwidth, it doesn't defy the laws of physics, doesn't make the inverse square law disappear, doesn't make antennas smaller (probably the opposite). There is a reason why those experiments are done with helmets/headsets, and use light, sound etc, not to mention the entirely different purpose (voluntary use e.g. for disabled individuals to regain certain functions).  Adding multiple layers of speculation and extrapolation on top of that just further proves that you don't really have anything to support your preconceived assumptions about vaccines and mind control.

Beamforming and MIMO give the system two attributes necessary for mind control. Selectivity (you can send a specific beam of coherent RF into just one person's head), and dose titration (you can select the intensity).

I never considered myself particularly against vaccines or 5G in general. I always found the backlash against them inorganic. In fact, it most likely was.

The conspirators behind this, wealthy and connected as they are, have pushed anti-vaccine and 5G conspiracy theories intentionally over the course of the past decade in order to poison the well and make criticism of their plans appear worthy of ridicule. No one could have guessed what the real plan was, or that the final implementation involved a combination of tainted vaccines and GSM wireless infrastructure to create a mass societal pacification field and lock people into unending serfdom.

That's not to say concerns about vaccines and 5G are invalid. Oh, no, hardly. Vaccines contain metal adjuvants and preservatives that can cause long-term neurotoxic effects, and the health effects of 50 GHz wireless radiation on the human body are largely unknown, but Swiss doctors and biologists (some of the best in the world) have called for a temporary halt to GSM network infrastructure upgrades in Switzerland. They would know.

But still, this is not about vaccines or 5G as health hazards per se (although vaccinating against SARS-like viruses has its own, separate hazards). This is about the surreptitious injection of brain-computer interface components into unsuspecting people, and then their manipulation with GSM infrastructure, neither of which have anything to do with preventing viral infections or facilitating free and voluntary communication.

They are asking researchers to come up with a nanoparticle transducer that has single-neuron resolution, which can be ingested or injected into someone (that is, introduced into the body non-surgically), bypass the blood-brain barrier, self-assemble in the brain, and facilitate two-way communication with neurons via an external encoder/decoder system.

Which part of it refers to a 24-52 GHz antenna capable of power delivery over ~500ft distances? You know, the 5g nonsense that you claimed is simple?

And yes, it's a grant proposal, meaning as recently as 2018 they didn't have anything even with a helmet. So I guess thanks for debunking yourself.

Wrong again.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cL3e8tC8TwE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PkV25ZzwTo

The tech is already here and the motive is clear.

The vaccines are a human experiment. "How many nanoparticles can we stuff in people before they die?"

The full-fledged mind control itself probably isn't here yet and likely won't come until 6G and the next generation of the nanoparticles roll out.

That's why they're using an endemic virus as an excuse for endless booster shots. The system needs multiple upgrades in multiple phases, over the course of the next decade or so. This is just the beginning.

@Spartacus

A couple of my pilot friends, received word that their airlines are mandating all staff be vaccinated, irrespective of natural immunity status - that both pilots have, as they have both contracted and recovered from COVID19.

They are currently having their union reps going to bat for them, and are individually looking into religious exemptions, but one of them did pose this question, that I wanted to pass along, here.

Would greatly appreciate any helpful anecdotes or insight you may be willing to share.

Thank you.

"Does anyone have any reading about how covid vaccines affect people who already have antibodies from their bodies beating the virus?"

Someone already successfully argued for their natural immunity in court.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9B_WfI-_io

They should not be able to force people to take the vaccine if they were already previously infected. That's nonsense. People who were infected and survived have robust antibodies against all of the virus's proteins, not just one.

I have heard from some people I know, repeatedly, that the mind control aspect of the document detracts from the whole, because it's too farfetched for most people.

I have a file that people should see.

https://www.grants.gov/grantsws/rest/opportunity/att/download/271279

This is the DARPA BRAIN Initiative's N3 grant proposal. Now, this is just a proposal. It's not proof of the existence of a working prototype.

However, the description of the technology in question is as follows:

Quote
To reach high temporal and spatial resolution, N3 will focus on two approaches: noninvasive (Technical Area 1 –TA1) and “minutely” invasive (Technical Area 2 – TA2) neural interfaces. Noninvasive interfaces will include the development of sensors and stimulators that do not breach the skin and will achieve neural ensemble resolution (<1mm3). Minutely invasive approaches will permit nonsurgical delivery of a nanotransducer: this could include a self- assembly approach, viral vectors, molecular, chemical and/or biomolecular technology delivered to neurons of interest to reach single neuron resolution (<50μm3). In this application, the developed technology will serve as an interface between targeted neurons and the sensor/stimulator. They should be sufficiently small to not cause tissue damage or impede the natural neuronal circuit. The sensors and stimulators developed under the minutely invasive approach will be external to the skull and will interact with the nanotransducers to enable high resolution neural recording and stimulation.
Both noninvasive and minutely invasive approaches will be required to overcome issues with signal scattering, attenuation, and signal-to-noise ratio typically seen with state of the art noninvasive neural interfaces. Systems that are larger or requiring a highly controlled environment – such as magnetoencephalography (MEG), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) – and proposals describing incremental improvements upon current technologies, such as electroencephalography (EEG), may not be considered responsive to this BAA and may not be evaluated.
Final N3 deliverables will include a complete integrated bidirectional brain-machine interface system. Non-invasive approaches will include sensor (read) and stimulator (write) subcomponents integrated into a device (or devices) external to the body (Figure 1B). Minutely invasive approaches will develop the nanotransducers for use inside the brain to facilitate read out and write in (Figure 1A). Minutely invasive approaches will also develop the external subcomponents and integrated devices that interact with the internal nanotransducers. N3 developed technologies may move beyond the traditional voltage recordings associated with action potentials, and include different types of signals, such as light, magnetic/electric fields, radiofrequency, and neurotransmitter/ion concentrations. These atypical signals may require the development of new algorithms to enable accurate decoding and encoding of neural activity. To that end, the N3 program will include a computational and processing unit that must provide task- relevant decoded neural signals for control in a DoD-relevant application. It must also provide the capability to encode signals from a DoD-relevant application and deliver sensory feedback to the brain. The processing unit must decode/encode in real time with minimal system latency (Figure 1C). A block diagram of the expected final prototype is shown in Figure 2.
To prove the capabilities of the N3 system, four major demonstrations will show progress from a benchtop proof-of-concept, to validation in animal models, to a final demonstration of a DoD- relevant application in human subjects. In order to transition the developed technology to clinical readiness, N3 performers will actively collaborate with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) throughout the program.

HR001118S0029, Next-Generation Non-Surgical Neurotechnology
1.2. TECHNICAL AREAS
The N3 program will provide up to four years of funding to deliver a nonsurgical neural interface system and is divided into three sequential Phases: Phase I (base effort)– 12 months, Phase II (option) – 18 months, and Phase III (option) – 18 months. N3 anticipates that each proposal will involve multiple integrated teams (from the same or different institutions) collectively developing the technological approaches for read out and write in. Teams must structure proposals as a single, unified effort with a system integrator that address all the program goals of the specified Technical Area (TA). Proposals that do not address all of the technical objectives may be considered non-responsive. Proposals must address a complete bidirectional neural interface system based on at least one of the following TAs:
Technical Area 1. Noninvasive neural interface
Technical Area 2. Minutely invasive neural interface
System Integration
Due to the complexity and performance objectives of the N3 system, proposals must identify a lead integrator with a proven track record of managing and integrating disparate technologies. Starting as early as Phase I, system integration should be a consideration throughout the program.
Security Measures
Proposers must use approaches that ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability (also known as the CIA triad) to prevent spoofing, tampering, or denial of service. It will be necessary to adequately secure the connection between the integrated device, the processing unit, and the system user’s brain. Proposers must incorporate inherently safe techniques into any wireless and electronic portions of their system, and proposals must describe the specific protocols and techniques to be used.
Ethical, Legal, and Societal Implications (ELSI)
DARPA maintains its commitment to ensuring that efforts funded under this BAA adhere to ethical and legal regulations currently in place for federally and DoD-funded research. Program developments will be discussed with a panel of expert external advisors with expertise in bioethical issues that may emerge as a consequence of advances in neurotechnology. Proposers to this BAA must address potential ethical, legal, and societal implications of their proposed technology.

They are asking researchers to come up with a nanoparticle transducer that has single-neuron resolution, which can be ingested or injected into someone (that is, introduced into the body non-surgically), bypass the blood-brain barrier, self-assemble in the brain, and facilitate two-way communication with neurons via an external encoder/decoder system.

Not to be offensive, but at this point I'd rather trust ICENI_Spartacus on everything medical although I'm sure he's no doctor and you're actually a real doctor. And do you know why? Because this anonymous man/woman/whatever is actually trying to connect the dots like... logically.
Lol. You trust them because they agree with your preconceived opinions. If someone else made a long post with lots of references saying that vaccines worked (you know, like the thousands of trials and studies which do exactly that), you would ignore them.

You're not doing the analysing, you're not doing the thinking.
Part of the issue with thinking that watching YouTube videos is somehow comparable to a medical degree and decades of first hand experience and ongoing education (apart from, you know, being an insane opinion), is that you can't even appreciate the disconnect between the two positions. Let's address the topic of reading and analyzing, since that is the one you brought up.

There is more to reading literature than just firing off lists of papers which you have hastily Googled which you think support your cause. You need to learn how to critically analyze research, weed out low quality case series or retrospective cohort reviews, pick out clear and hidden biases, assess the methodology, look for flaws in study designs and protocols, search for conflicts of interest, find any reporting errors, data errors, analysis errors, statistical errors, assess whether the data support the conclusions, the list goes on. Not only do anti-vaxxers not know how to do this, they don't even realize it is a process which should be done or even exists, which explains why they think a Bitchute video or some far right conspiracy blog is somehow "good evidence". It helps to explains why Spartacus is confused about why good quality trials show no evidence for the treatments they think should work based on poor quality trials. It explains why they link papers which are irrelevant to what they are talking about, mistakenly thinking they support their opinions, and why they links papers which make a very good case for vaccination. And it explains why anti-vaxxers are so impressed by a list of references that you have not read which do not support the points you think they support.

I have never claimed to be an absolute authority on anything, but I know how to read and analyze data and reach logical conclusions based on those data.

So when you have a broken leg or appendicitis you get a random "man/woman/whatever" to fix you up instead of a real doctor?
I know when we were paying for our house to be built, rather than go to a certified architect and then take the plans to a registered construction company with decades of experience, we instead hired some guy who had never designed or built anything in his life but had watched a lot of vlogs. It was far cheaper! The fact that I am now living in a pile of rubble is irrelevant.

Does the experimental gene therapy show any efficacy, at all, to mitigate these long term effects?
We know that if you have severe COVID then you are more likely to suffer from one or more long term sequelae. We also know that if you get vaccinated, then your risk of catching COVID is significantly reduced, and if you do still catch it, the severity of your disease is in general significantly reduced.

This study, using a virus-free mouse model, explores the pathogenic roles of certain antibodies specific to the spike proteins of highly pathogenic coronaviruses such as the COVID-19 and the SARS-CoV viruses. Our data showed that these pathogenic antibodies, through a mechanism of Antibody Dependent Auto-Attack (ADAA), target and bind to host vulnerable cells or tissues such as damaged lung epithelium cells, initiate a self-attack immune response, and lead to serious conditions including ARDS, cytokine release, and death. Moreover, the pathogenic antibodies also induced inflammation and hemorrhage of the kidneys, brain, and heart. Furthermore, the pathogenic antibodies can bind to unmatured fetal tissues and cause abortions, postpartum labors, still births, and neonatal deaths of pregnant mice. Novel clinical interventions, through disrupting the host-binding of these pathogenic antibodies, can be developed to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the new concept of ADAA explored by this study may be applicable to other infectious diseases, such as the highly pathogenic influenza infections. It should be noted that the majority of anti-spike antibodies are non-pathogenic, as only 2 of 7 monoclonal antibodies tested showed significant pathogenic effects.

I don't consider myself anti-vaccine. I have my MMR, tetanus, everything.

The COVID-19 vaccine is not a vaccine. It is an excuse for a New World Order power grab that will see scores of people herded into technocratic-socialist smart cities, given state-issued crypto that can be revoked by the issuer at any time, their every move and every purchase monitored and tracked, all while being forced to behave according to a China-style social credit system. It is an excuse to turn billions of innocent people into lobotomized, neutered cattle.

These "vaccines" are going to screw people up for life. The companies peddling this garbage have immunity from lawsuits, too. Why did they demand legal immunity? Because they know that their products are going to be the new Thalidomide, Vioxx, or Levaquin.

My family has been directly affected by pharmaceutical injuries. My father had nasal polyps and was given Levaquin after surgery to remove them. He now struggles with tendinitis and crippling neuropathy in his feet. He has irreversible damage to his body that has harmed his quality of life.

The pharmaceutical industry are not the benevolent gods you see them as. They do not deserve to hide from legal exposure.

@ICENI_Spartacus, can you answer us this?

"1. What do you think of al-hijama method immediately after taking the vaccine or just keeping a ginant neodymium magnet on your arm and then cutting the skin to release the vaccine? There are videos of people doing that - are they successfully extracting the vaccine this way?"

Thank you... I'm sure there are others who wonder the same... Thank you for your work!

Making any kind of break in the skin is a good way for it to get infected. Personally, if people are against the vaccine, I would recommend simply not taking it, no matter the consequences (loss of employment, et cetera).

People who are against the vaccine need to stand our ground and call our leaders' bluff. The mass workforce loss will have a huge punitive effect against the companies following the mandates.

OK, I’m literaly asking for a friend.

I can't speak for other centers, but in my center pretty much everyone is in a trial. Can't have a patient in two trials at once since your results would be meaningless. Far better to enroll people in to a big trial of a substance which had encouraging results in small trials than a substance which had negative results in small trials.

That makes sense.



Earlier treatment is obviously better, but there is still evidence for remdesivir once the patient is admitted to hospital, otherwise we wouldn't be using it.

The Kaplan–Meier estimates of mortality were 6.7% with remdesivir and 11.9% with placebo by day 15 and 11.4% with remdesivir and 15.2% with placebo by day 29.

What I heard was that Remdesivir caused kidney failures, at a rate 20 times greater than other antivirals:

Pretty much every government does tell people to do that, and it would save many lives from cancer, heart disease, diabetes, stroke, etc., not just COVID. Figure out a way to convince people to do it and collect your Nobel Prize.

Well, for one thing, they could stop promoting "fat positivity", publish true and accurate information about how the increase in BMI makes the virus noticeably more lethal, promote daily exercise (while avoiding crowded areas) and use the virus scare itself to try and convince people to lose weight.

I mean, that's what they'd do if they cared about public health, right?



Because smallpox had existed for centuries and many people were already immune due to either variolation or childhood vaccines. COVID came out of nowhere and there was no pre-existing immunity. An unjust comparison.

Spanish Flu came out of nowhere, too, caused terrible symptoms due to the lack of pre-existing immunity, and eventually subsided in a couple years.

I'll skip over all your mind control nonsense to address this. You've just linked a study which says "This novel feature of SARS-CoV-2 infection may explain why patients can continue to produce viral RNA after recovery and suggests a new aspect of RNA virus replication." Once again, you are making a great argument for getting vaccinated and avoiding all these potential complications of COVID infections.

This could also apply to mRNA from the vaccine.

https://www.nature.com/articles/srep24755

Quote
Rapidly accumulating evidence demonstrates that new genes play diverse functional roles and serve as a major driver of phenotypic evolution1. One important mechanism to create these lineage- or species-specific genes is RNA-based duplication or retroposition1, in which an mRNA template is reverse transcribed by retrotransposons and subsequently reinserted into the genome as a functional retrocopy or retrogene2. The identification of retrogenes is straightforward given the hallmark of intron loss relative to the parental copies. Moreover, because of the loss of most of the preexisting regulatory sequences, retrogenes are predicted to be subject to neofunctionalization, i.e., to play a different function compared to their parental genes3. Thus, retrogenes have been an attractive research target for decades. For example, one of the first reported new genes, jingwei in Drosophila, is a retrogene4. In plants, genome-wide surveys performed by others and ourselves have identified numerous retrogenes in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), rice and so on5,6,7. Although the majority of these retrogenes are functionally uncharacterized, Sun is known to underlie morphological variation of the tomato fruit8, while CYP98A8 and CYP98A9 are involved in pollen development in Arabidopsis9.

Although, the LINE-1 enzymatic machinery preferentially reverse transcribes its own RNA (Esnault et al., 2000; Wei et al., 2001; Kulpa and Moran, 2006), the presence of intronless pseudogenes scattered throughout mammalian genomes points out that mRNAs transcribed from protein-coding genes are also substrates for reverse transcription by the endogenous RT (Pink et al., 2011). This suggests that the RT-depending mechanism, in addition to targeting miRNAs, can also target several more RNA classes, coding and non-coding, small- and long-RNAs, though with a possible preferential bias for those associated with, or derived from, retroelement sequences.

Oooooooooops.



Take your pick: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-95565-8

Such fun long term symptoms to choose from include fatigue, headaches, memory impairment, attention disorders, chest pain, breathlessness, hearing loss, joint pains, palpitations, depression, sleep apnea, psychiatric disorders, digestive problems, the list goes on.

This is one of the more troubling aspects of an endemic SARS strain; the notion of continuous, attritional damage to the tissues as a result of reinfection.

"Long COVID" is a misnomer. The virus is long gone, in most instances. In many ways, COVID-19's sequelae resemble the classic SARS sequelae, with the subject suffering from brain fog, shortness of breath, exercise intolerance, and chronic fatigue well after the infection itself has resolved. There were SARS survivors from 2003 who still had these sequelae a decade later. Seeing that at the outset of my research was what convinced me that I needed to dig even further.



I should also clarify; just because I mention things like APPA, I don't believe people with COVID-19 should be trying to self-medicate. There need to be well-designed trials with good sample sizes. People self-medicating with veterinary-grade Ivermectin was kind of disappointing. It gave the media ammunition to discredit it with, when there were perfectly reasonable mechanisms by which it could have been effective. The Uttar Pradesh government claimed that it kept cases down.

ICENI_Spartacus first let me say - thank you for existing. I imagine it must be very hard and tiring especially psychologically to go all in against the powers, against the narrative, and against the everyday normal people that you're trying to save but they don't realise it and attack you (kinda reacting like our own immune systems when they've been cheated and modified by the virus)... collecting information piece by piece like a bee and knowing you will get no reward or recognition even if you succeed in saving us - you're a special person driven by duty and thank God there are people like you. To stay sane and carefully analyse this weird horrific puzzle and to try and make sense out of it. Please don't stop. Even if you are on a wrong path sometimes - don't ever quit or take it as a discouragement as I believe you will eventually get your eureca moment and crack this all and for once. You are important as you have many of the events in your head, and many of the public information since COVID's emergence and in case this public info goes missing online (which is actually happening gradually and with time) - you will still be able to connect the dotts once you gather enough info or logical proof for what's happening. It doesn't matter if you're 1 person or a huge team - this Spartacus letter approach is working and getting to people so you're doing something - very right.

After seeing what the powers-that-be are doing to people, I decided that resistance was a matter of principles. It doesn't matter what happens to me. Not really. So long as the people who did this to us are made to suffer for it, their reputations dragged through the mud, and so long as these patients start getting treatments that actually work, all is well.

Saying all this I want to ask you the following, if you allow me:

- What's your option on China and their vaccines? Why did China choose to go to the inactivated variant of a vaccine? For me - this is very interesting. US also has been working on inactivated virus vaccine which most definitely won't be used for the masses (perhaps only those high importance will take it). Is China really trying to protect their population from COVID which might have essentially been planned and executed as a bioweapon against them and against the rest of the world (killing China and enslaving the rest of the world). Perhaps they didn't expect China to close down so aggressively and to stop the COVID spread and come up with a vaccine to save themselves. If China were in cahoots with the planners why would they release it on themselves and why would they go the inactivated vaccine route which is less technological (they don't have mRNA technology) and perhaps... actually effective? From my perspective even if China did release the virus themselves to the world they still need to protect themselves with a working vaccine, so both situations require them to come up with a real vaccine... Otherwise why not just use mRNA like everybody else? Geopolitically if this is a war between Anglo-Saxons/NATO against the rest of the world (undeveloped nations who catch up economically and will want their share on global stage) then it makes some sense to look at it at this angle. There is no doubt about the ambitions of some people who want the One World Government but is this truly possible and achievable taking in mind there are also other people (Putin, Maduro, Duterte, Xi Jinping) wanting control of their own countries just as bad. Those people are as megalomaniacal as well - let's not forget that. As much as powerful and rich people align in philosophy - they don't like to share the bone they're holding. And if Macron, Boris Johnson, Biden, Ursula and others of this kind are perceived as tyrants or people of great power nowadays - they've climbed the power ladder rather easily by bending knee in front of their masters and aren't the true masters. So it's expected that they will just follow the agendas and the orders. But this can't be said about Putin, Maduro, Duterte, Xi Jinping etc. Their power ladder was climbed in a totally different way. Do any of us know just how many people has Maduro killed to get on top? Those people have truly earned their power. And to think they will just hand it down to Anglo-Saxons/NATO/ or... Schwab. Just because they have the same hunger to oppress people... well they already do this. If anything - democracies are scary because they allow free speech. And Venezuela, Russia, China aren't quite the democracies and never actually were even close to that. So what is your geopolitical stance and your China vaccine stance? What happens in the body when Sinovac or Sinopharm is used? What does the inactivated COVID do? I think we can pretty much disregard vaccine side effects as a proof of bad intentions as if you think logically... if their intention is to control populations by the vaccine, then the COVID itself will be the population reduction mechanism and the vaccine side effects are just... vaccine side effects (also why would they scare population by side effects like it's happening now... they want the population to actually take it... I think they just screwed up "Windows BSOD" style...) because all vaccines have them - side effects, especially the non-tested ones, and the rushed ones to the market. Also what is your proposed treatment/prevention protocol for coagulopathy?

I know that whole SARS vaccines have not worked well in the past. They induced immune sensitization.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22536382/

Consider this: why are China vaccinating old people last? The highest-risk group?

https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3127484/china-moves-elderly-further-covid-19-vaccine-queue

China has a demographic problem. A big one. Too many old people, and too many men. The one-child policy really screwed them up. They want more kids to man the factories, and less old people straining the safety nets.

US/NATO vs China/Russia is a giant red herring. The mere fact that the virus was created in a Chinese lab with funding from our own NIH, DTRA, and USAID shows this to be the case. What's actually happening is that the Human Cattle Ranchers (the HCRs, if you will) are playing kingmaker, trying to select some country other than the United States to be the head of the New World Order. The way they are accomplishing this is by the controlled demolition of the entire Anglosphere.

WWIII is presently happening. It is not a war between world powers. That's a distraction. The HCRs do not believe in nation-states; the idea of politics being a team sport with nations as the teams is an illusion for the little people. There is only one single, global, extractive enterprise, which all nations play a part in. This war consists of biowarfare and information warfare waged by governments against their own citizens, to stem the tide of overpopulation and prevent resource wars in the future. The combatants are not wearing uniforms and we are not being paid a salary to fight. In other words, we are being expected to react to psyops by volunteering our valuable time.

600,000 deaths in a year, most of them older people on the verge of death anyway, with many comorbidites, is not something that you would notice unless the media is blasting it in your ears 24/7. Would you know about the millions who have died each and every year for the past several decades of preventable illnesses if they didn't tell you? No. In China, where they have a demographic crisis and too many old people to take care of them, there could be millions of elderly dying right now, and there's no way for you to know if they've suppressed the figures or not.

The HCRs don't want to pay people's pensions. They want you to wageslave and then die. They want young, fresh, able-bodied meat for that purpose. That's what this is ultimately about. All of the people who you think of as enemies? The likes of Putin, Biden, Xi Jinping, Boris Johnson, Scott Morrison, and Justin Trudeau? These people all shake hands and laugh at you behind closed doors. They are actively contemptuous of all of us, and scheming of ways to thin the herd and rebalance demographics on behalf of their true masters. Everything else you're seeing is theater.

The coagulopathy of COVID-19 is brought on by the release of von Willebrand factor and the formation of antiphospholipid antibodies, among other things. This is due to oxidative stress in the blood vessels accompanied by EC activation and sloughing. To put it in layman's terms, all the caulking is falling off the inside of these people's blood vessels, leading to pulmonary angioedema and sepsis. The clots are from the body desperately trying to patch the holes back up. In the case of COVID-19, it's not so much "clotting", like one or two or a dozen large clots, as it is the entire bloodstream thickening and becoming syrup. This process is resistant to blood thinners like heparin and tPA, and going too far with those can cause fatal hemorrhages.

I'd say that the key thing is to restore endothelial health and prevent EC activation as much as possible. Tocilizumab and infliximab can reduce IL-6 and TNF-a, but preventing the activation of the transcription factors that make those in the first place could be helpful.

APPA, or Apocynin and Paeonol, is being investigated as a drug formulation for osteoarthritis.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32383062/

Quote
Neutrophils are key players in the pathophysiological process underlying inflammatory conditions not only by release of tissue-damaging cytotoxic enzymes, reactive oxygen species (ROS) but also by secretion of important immunomodulatory chemokines and cytokines. Here, we report the effects of the novel agent APPA, undergoing formal clinical development for treatment of osteoarthritis, and its constituent components, apocynin (AP) and paeonol (PA) on a number of neutrophil functions, including effects on TNFα- expression and signalling. Neutrophils were treated with APPA (10-1000 µg/mL) prior to the measurement of cell functions, including ROS production, chemotaxis, apoptosis and surface receptor expression. Expression levels of several key genes and proteins were measured after incubation with APPA and the chromatin re-modelling agent, R848. APPA did not significantly affect phagocytosis, bacterial killing or expression of surface receptors, while chemotactic migration was affected only at the highest concentrations. However, APPA down-regulated neutrophil degranulation and ROS levels, and decreased the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps. APPA also decreased cytokine-stimulated gene expression, inhibiting both TNFα- and GM-CSF-induced cell signalling. APPA was as effective as infliximab in down-regulating chemokine and IL-6 expression following incubation with R848. Whilst APPA does not interfere with neutrophil host defence against infections, it does inhibit neutrophil degranulation, and cytokine-driven signalling pathways (e.g. autocrine signalling and NF-κB activation), processes that are associated with inflammation. These observations may explain the mechanisms by which APPA exerts anti-inflammatory effects and suggests a potential therapeutic role in inflammatory diseases in which neutrophils and TNFα signalling are important in pathology, such as rheumatoid arthritis.

Apocynin is found in kutki powder (ground-up picrorhiza kurroa root), and paeonol comes from peony root bark (p. suffruticosa).

Normally, I would not suggest herbal medicine for a virus as nasty as SARS-CoV-2, but there are many benefits of plant polyphenols in dealing with oxidative stress, and the triggers of inflammatory cytokines are often set off by oxidative processes interacting with the MAPK pathway, and, well, what we're really talking about here is acute inflammation that mimics rheumatic diseases, but occurs primarily in the vasculature.

Given that APPA shows the potential to reduce ROS release from neutrophils and prevent IL-6 and TNF-a release, and also given that COVID-19 involves a great deal of neutrophil degranulation/NETosis, oxidative stress, and IL-6 and TNF-a release, the science behind this is entirely logical. Granted, the concentrations found in plant roots are much, much lower than what you'd get if they isolated and purified them.
13  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Spartacus Letter on: October 03, 2021, 03:05:33 PM
A number of possibilities. Could be that they are still writing up the data, but since these trials you linked are generally very small numbers of patients (<100), it shouldn't take them long to analyze. Could be that they failed somewhere along the way with recruitment, or administrating the intervention, or maintaining the blindedness, etc. Could be that their results were negative and so they just gave up and didn't bother to write them up.

That's another thing. There are many scattershot, low-quality, underpowered studies that are recruiting like 20 people to test a drug, and 20 people for the control group.

If there are so many patients, why are the sample sizes so small? If our hospitals are flooded with dying people, as you say, then why can't they enroll more than a handful at a time? Surely, there should be a surfeit of people who could participate in these trials.

Something here does not add up.

If you get as far as the hospital with COVID then you'll get all the treatments we have good evidence for which I outlined above - dexamethasone, remdesivir, tocilizumab, NIV - all with the aim to prevent intubation.

Antivirals pretty much don't work unless they're taken as post-exposure or pre-exposure prophylaxis. This can be shown by examining the clinical course of the virus.

https://www.mdpi.com/1999-4915/13/6/963/htm

https://curriculum.covidstudentresponse.org/module-1-from-bench-to-bedside/management-of-covid-19

At the onset of the ARDS/pro-inflammatory phase, the viral load has actually reached a nadir in most patients. There is no virus left to prevent the replication of.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/jvchamary/2021/01/31/remdesivir-covid-coronavirus/?sh=aaaa7bd66c27

I hate having to repeat myself, but many, many studies cited by the media as proof of the ineffectiveness of antivirals were studies that recruited severely ill, hospitalized people. Oxford's RECOVERY study, for instance. That was pretty much people who had already reached day 10 post-exposure and were already suffering from hyperinflammation. Remdesivir does nothing, aside from putting additional strain on the liver, with a virus that already causes abnormal AST/ALT readings. That's a contraindication.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32702162/

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33947196/

The treatment of COVID-19 patients is time-sensitive. These patients need early, proactive interventions to prevent them from progressing to sepsis.

Tell that to your fellow anti-vaxxers. They are the ones perpetuating this nonsense.

Many of them are believers of Antoine Béchamp who think that germ theory is actually wrong and viruses do not cause disease. It is difficult to warn people about a virus and its properties when the fundamental knowledge is so lacking. I do indeed blame the government and the rapidly declining quality of public education for that. People are wearing scientific ignorance as a badge of pride, because science has become so politicized. It shouldn't be. Knowledge is power, and science is merely a means of obtaining knowledge.

I hold both the worship of science and the hatred of science in equal contempt. The left trying to turn PhDs into clergymen is as appalling as the right rejecting science entirely. It doesn't matter if someone is right-wing or left-wing or whatever. They need to know that science is a valuable tool available to all, and it should not be perceived merely as an avenue of propaganda.

Granted, institutional science is becoming increasingly corrupted by special interests with questionable agendas, and science publishers are some of the most corrupt sons of bitches around. However, that doesn't reflect poorly on science as a concept. It reflects poorly on our institutions.

We give out plenty of information, barn door irrefutable information, and still some people deny it. People look at the death rates and falsely claim they are being inflated, as you just pointed out. People deny that hospitals are full, when we've literally taken over entire floors to turn them to expanded ICUs. People don't even think COVID is real, despite it being isolated hundreds of thousands of times and killing millions. Explaining the intricacies of COVID pneumonia or multi-organ failure isn't going to change the mind of these people. Indeed, as evidenced by this very thread, if you try to do so you get simply get insulted and told to go die.

COVID-19 can, in many circumstances, be a lethal, SARS-like disease with some rather extraordinary complications. It can also lead to disturbing sequelae, like ME/CFS, pulmonary fibrosis, and neurological issues. I don't doubt that at all. In fact, I encourage anyone who is still on the fence about COVID-19's pathology to do their own investigations and go over the primary sources to the best of their ability.

One of the best starting points is to approach the virus as a vascular endotheliitis that causes severe oxidative stress and iron metabolism dysregulation, leading to sepsis and lipid peroxidation in the pulmonary vasculature.

https://academic.oup.com/eurheartj/article/41/32/3038/5901158#208335511

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7757048/

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41420-020-00369-w

Lipid peroxidation - the oxidation or "bleaching" of fats in the body - is nasty process. See the following:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3075542/

COVID-19 patients have noticeable ferroptosis signatures in their tissues, Anti-PL and Anti-CL antibodies, high serum nitrotyrosine, and low nitric oxide bioavailability. All of these things point to the same thing; a pathological state dominated by extreme oxidative stress.

Once lipid hydroperoxides begin to form, they recursively increase inflammation by triggering pattern recognition receptors and attracting autoantibodies. They take forever to detoxify, too, so if you're going to try and dose people with antioxidants, NADPH oxidase inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, Vitamin D, selenium, NAC, Nrf2 activators, whatever, it has to be early. Very early on. Before the disease has progressed to hyperinflammation.

However, as I said before, I doubt there is a magic pill that prevents this. The key thing is for blood vessel physiology to be improved by a healthy lifestyle. The government guidelines should be for people to stay active, stay healthy, diet correctly, and lower their BMI if they're overweight or obese. This would, in the long run, save many lives, because the evidence for COVID-19 causing greater mortality in people with a higher body-mass index (likely due to pre-existing endothelial dysfunction) is overwhelming.

What are they doing instead? They're forcing people to stay indoors. Encouraging them to become fat and sedentary and sun-deprived. All of these things make COVID-19 measurably worse.

That scientist in Pittsburgh who was killed in a murder-suicide was an expert in iron metabolism and redox biology.

Bing Liu Knew.

Absolutely. And feeding them provable lies about how our single greatest weapon in the fight against COVID is gene therapy or mind control or nanotech or any other nonsense is the root of a lot of that fear.

I have never, in my entire lifetime, seen a vaccination campaign involving threats of martial law and firings for noncompliance. Given that the IFR of COVID-19 is relatively low in absolute terms, not even near to approaching the lethality of something like Smallpox (which people lived with day in, day out, without any economic disruptions whatsoever, despite the gruesome toll in lives it took every year), the lockdowns and the strange behavior of our governments makes no sense unless there is an ulterior motive.

Despite being morally abominable, mind control and depopulation are perfectly sensible motives. They "fit" neatly in the hole left behind by the absence of other explanations.

The thing about super high-frequency RF is that RF in the tens of GHz is stopped in the skin, and in the THz range, it's stopped by atmosphere. That's how the Raytheon ADS maser works; water molecules in the skin rapidly heat and produce a burning sensation.

There are, however, ways of getting tiny nanoparticles to receive lower frequencies than normal. One is plasmonic subwavelength waveguides.

https://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijo/2012/258013/

http://ham.seas.harvard.edu/upload/papers/2012/ultra.pdf

The frequencies received by these are still too high.

Another, simpler way is self-assembling materials (i.e. electrostatic attraction, hydrophilic-hydrophobic attraction and repulsion, etc.) that make larger antennas in the body that can receive longer wavelengths.

People have the wrong idea about mind control. This isn't something as sophisticated as remote-piloting someone's limbs from afar, like in the movies. It's far more crude than that. If you had the ability to remotely stimulate the reward center of the brain, like they do with DBS electrodes on alcoholics, you could profoundly affect mood. The results, on a societal scale, would be undeniable.

For the Human Cattle Ranchers, there is a motive; ending populism and nativism, of course. Why would they do this? Simple. It would depress wages and put more money in their pockets if working-class people were cybernetically pacified to the point of emotionally accepting their status as serfs and giving up any ambitions of climbing any higher than that. It would also be great for the environment. Someone who is perpetually satisfied by a neural implant has no need of rich food or a vacation to Cancun, or other luxuries. That makes their carbon footprint smaller. It also makes them less desirous of sexual intercourse, which helps with overpopulation and tamps down on people's dissatisfaction with their inability to buy houses and start families.

The result? Instead of the default state of man in first-world countries being someone who demands a 3500+ square foot McMansion and a three-car garage, you now have a man who will happily live in a sub-50-square-foot prison cell eating locusts and mealworms for breakfast and then going to work and being berated by their boss while sitting in a cubicle and responding to memos for very little pay. He would never even consider rebellion against this state of affairs. He has been pushed off the hedonism treadmill and onto the floor.

So many effects, and all you have to do is pump fake reward into someone's reward center. Primitive, crude, and most of all, effective.

And, of course, if the vaccine does turn out to be a lethal depopulation kill shot in the long-term, such pacification would be absolutely necessary to keep people from rising up when they see their friends and neighbors become infertile and/or die from the effects.

You insist that the vaccine is beneficial and will reduce morbidity and mortality in the long run. Initially, in the short-term, this may have been true. However, newer data paints a bleak picture.

https://www.visiontimes.com/2021/09/14/pfizer-27x-symptomatic-covid-break-through-natural-immunity.html

The breakthrough infections are getting worse and worse. How long before these antibodies flip to being non-neutralizing, and ADE (and with it, higher viral loads, greater rates of hospitalization, and higher morbidity) rears its ugly head?

The clock is ticking.

It is neither experimental nor gene therapy.

The Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines are the first-ever products to use mRNA technology, and they were adopted under accelerated trials. In Moderna's case, it's their first-ever commercial product. That should be considered a major red flag, however, the media and politicians are pushing vaccination as the way to end the pandemic. Except COVID-19 cannot be stopped. It is endemic, and it has animal reservoirs. You can't vaccinate it away any more than you can vaccinate away the flu or the common cold. They are being highly disingenuous, pushing medical countermeasures on people who don't want them.

Furthermore, it is entirely possible for mRNA to be integrated into one's genome by endogenous reverse transcription.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33330870/

If, for some reason, the vaccine mRNA does become integrated into the host genome, that is a gene delivery system. That is, gene therapy.

We see this kind of thing not infrequently in medicine, and even more so in critical care. Drugs or treatments which show promising results in vitro, show promising results in rodent models, maybe even show promising results in healthy volunteers, but when we apply them to critically ill patients, they either don't work or even make things worse.

Take colloids for example. They were going to be the next big thing and replace crystalloids for treating septic shock. They provided a bigger increase in blood pressure than crystalloids, and this increase lasted longer. They stayed in the intravascular space longer, they caused less peripheral and pulmonary edema and fewer third space losses. They allowed us to wean vasopressors more quickly. They made all our numbers and parameters better. And then the studies came out which showed that actually they were pro-inflammatory, they were bad for the kidneys, and they worsened mortality. So we are back with crystalloids except in very specific cases.

Take ventilation for example. When we first ventilated patients, we used large tidal volumes and high respiratory rates to help clear CO2. We did this to get their PaCO2 down to a physiological level, which helped to correct the acidosis associated with sepsis and bring their pH back to a normal level, which definitely improved things in the short term, stabilized the patient, reduced the requirement for inotropes and vasopressors, etc. And then the studies likes ARDSnet came out which showed we were causing volutrauma and barotrauma and allowing what we call "permissive hypercapnia" with lower tidal volumes improved mortality.

So then we get a treatment like antioxidants, which logically should work, and which give good looking data in rodents or healthy volunteers, but when applied to a critically ill population, simply don't work.

Well, you're absolutely right. Something that seems promising in vitro is not always useful in vivo. A drug that works great on a cell culture may never even reach the cells in question when applied to a living body, which is basically a giant maze.

However, that's not what I meant. Look at those links I posted again. Many trials have failed to post any results at all, even over a year after their completion. Not positive, not negative. Nothing. No data. That's so frustrating to see.

Emphasis mine. These people would have had a near 100% mortality rate without intubation. I've intubated a lot of people with COVID, and in every single one they were critically hypoxic and, at most, a couple of hours from dying without intervention. It's also worth noting that the article with a mortality rate of 88% was published in April 2020, during the first wave, when we had no specific treatments for this disease. Less than a year later and the mortality rate is now down at 45% precisely because we have evidence showing us which "adjunct therapy", as you put it, is effective. As time goes on, and with other treatments being studied and widespread vaccination, that number will reduce further.

Isn't there anything that can be done in terms of surveillance and early treatment before they become critically hypoxic?

The public don't care. What can they do with knowledge that COVID causes severe DIC or pericarditis? They want to know when they can go on vacation again or go to a concert.

That's the wrong way of thinking about things. If there's no outreach at all, then people will become hostile and angry, simply because their bread and circuses are gone and they have no valid explanation for why this is the case, other than "there's a spooky pneumonia around".

I have seen so many instances where people go over the topic of COVID-19 death certificates, hear that a PE, stroke, or myocardial infarction killed someone who was sick with COVID-19, and then angrily grumble something about how hospitals are inflating COVID-19 numbers by designating deaths from infarcts as COVID deaths. I've spoken with a nurse who I see on my commute periodically, and he told me about a COVID-19 patient he saw who needed both her legs to be amputated from the knees down because of clots. People don't even comprehend the notion of an airborne virus that causes aggressive coagulopathy that can progress to disseminated intravascular coagulation. It does not compute.

I know they're trying to prevent a panic, but at this stage, more information is better. It has to be. What's going to fill the void if no one comes forward with answers? Long rants filled with angry and paranoid speculation? Mass unrest?

My condolences, sincerely. It's personal for a lot of us.

It is good to hear that the protocols for the ventilators have been adjusted and that mortality is dropping. Perhaps I came off as a little hyperbolic about them. I will have to correct that.

See? It's hard even for me, someone digging relentlessly into all this, to get up-to-date information on how patients are responding to adjustments in the protocols. Imagine the kind of dread and desperation for good-quality answers that the public must feel. Imagine how someone whose loved one is dying in the hospital feels. They don't know anything at all.

Back in February of 2020, I realized there was a shortage of PPE and equipment for healthcare workers that was about to make the following weeks and months into a living hell. I tried emailing HHS and the CDC about my concerns over supply shortages, but they never got back to me. Then, there were indeed shortages.

What we have is a crisis of trust. Public officials have done everything in their power to make millions of people very distrustful of them. The constant vacillation is appalling. First, masks are derided as useless, and travel bans are called racist. Then, they're mandatory; put these diapers on your face and cancel your travel plans. First, COVID is mostly transmitted by touch surfaces, then they say droplets, then they say aerosols. Two weeks to slow the spread and then it'll all be over, but it's actually two years and it's still going. The whole point of the stimulus checks was essentially to keep Wall Street afloat in the midst of an ongoing economic downturn due to the pandemic log-jamming just-in-time logistics, but we're told that this is to help people back up on their feet. Meanwhile, trillions of dollars were transferred from working-class people to the very rich.

Everything that they have done seems almost calculated to induce existential dread. People are demanding answers, but are receiving pepper spray and a truncheon to the face instead. Democracies have transformed, almost overnight, into brutal authoritarian hells. Everyone in the Anglosphere is watching Australia with open-mouthed horror and wondering if we're next.

How many people have lost their jobs over this? How many have slit their wrists in the bathtub or ODed on the sofa because they couldn't take it anymore?

Maybe if people hadn't been lied to and had their trust abused so flagrantly, we wouldn't be in this mess. People don't like to be turned into outcasts and pariahs in our own damn countries.

Mostly low quality evidence. Cohort studies or self selecting studies, low number of patients, confounding factors, etc. One of those studies you linked even found that physical activity was a risk factor for COVID. If you take high quality meta-analyses which only include high quality RTCs, such as the one I linked previously or this one - https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD015017.pub2 - we generally find very sporadic and inconclusive evidence. I'm not saying there definitely isn't something there, but there is no good quality evidence to support it at present.

Very disappointing. I would have hoped that there would be something even better than dexamethasone for treating COVID-19 hyperinflammation by now. Sad

A lot of people don't realize that antivirals can range from mildly toxic, like Ivermectin, to highly toxic and injurious to the liver and/or kidneys, like Kaletra and Remdesivir. Antivirals generally work by inhibiting the cellular machinery that viruses hijack to make their proteins. However, our own bodies need that machinery to express our own genes, too.

These patients' own bodies are killing them. It's not even really the virus itself; it's a SARS-like over-exuberant immune response, like carpet bombing an entire city with B-52s to kill a few guerrillas. Everything is a balancing act when one proposes to suppress the immune system. Too much suppression, and the patient ends up with co-infections, as was seen in India when the heavy use of steroids led to mucormycosis. Disabling the armaments of phagocytes, suppressing DAMPs, and preventing the activity of inflammatory transcription factors like NF-kB, AP-1 and STAT is not always beneficial.

Some inflammation is good, just not the crazy inflammation seen in COVID-19.

Almost all anti-vaxxers deliberately just turn a blind eye to published data and trials. I'm curious as to how you can understand how trials like these are the only way to reach firm conclusions and build an evidence base, but then simultaneously choose to ignore the evidence that the vaccine is reducing symptoms, reducing critical care admissions, and saving lives.

I am aware of the reports of lessened morbidity and mortality. What I'm worried about is ADE and the possibility that mortality from vaccine-related complications might eclipse any benefit over time, thus rendering the short-term benefits worthless. Yes, you're right in that quality, well-designed trials that produce good data are important, absolutely. However, all we have so far is a limited slice of time. We can make predictions, but we don't quite know what this picture will look like a year from now.

I keep hearing reports that adverse effects from the vaccines are being suppressed and kept hush-hush. Reports to the VAERS system are not being filled out, and even then, with the limited data available, the adverse events from COVID-19 vaccines seem to greatly outstrip vaccines for other diseases in previous years. The anecdotal reports are appalling. One news station asked people what their experiences were with COVID-19, and if they'd lost family from the virus. They instead got replies from hundreds of people claiming their family members were injured by the vaccines.

Lots and lots of people are very scared.

Again, for the people in the back.

Moderna was co-founded by Robert Langer.

Oh, so we just skip over the whole "does this tech actually exist" and go straight to insinuating that some people knowing other people definitely means they're conspiring? Does that mean the Pfizer vaccine is safe or is Pfizer founder's niece linked to someone in Wuhan too?

BCI tech is in its infancy even with electrodes physically implanted in one's head. AFAIK the whole nano particle shtick would require a helmet just to read brain activity. OTOH we already have drugs that affect "mood and behavior" so why not just put those in everyone's beer and don't bother with the complicated virus-vax conspiracy.

None of this proves that remote mind control exists, can be covertly delivered via injection to billions of people, and that this actually happened.

I wouldn't think for a second that you really believe that gibberish you're posting, so I'm quite intrigued how far you're going to take this.

Not gibberish. There are entirely plausible ways of doing this. Not sure about read/write at a high resolution, but at the very least, they might be able to emulate deep brain stimulation, which, at sufficient power levels, makes people feel incredibly blissful and satisfied all the time, like Soma from Brave New World, or a Droud from Larry Niven's Ringworld. They use DBS to treat refractory alcoholism. Basically, it stimulates the reward response in the Nucleus Accumbens.

The two began with a single volt. Not much happened. The patient’s well-being or “happiness level” was down around two, while his anxiety was up at eight. With another volt, his happiness level crawled up to three, and his anxiety fell to six. That was better but still nothing to write home about. At four volts, on the other hand, the picture was entirely different. The patient now described a feeling of happiness all the way up to the maximum of 10 and a total absence of anxiety.

“It’s like being high on drugs,” he told Synofzik. The neurologist turned up the voltage one more notch for the sake of the experiment, but at five volts the patient said that the feeling was “fantastic but a bit too much.” He had a feeling of ecstasy that was almost out of control, which made his sense of anxiety shoot up to seven.

Okay, so you want to put electrodes in the brain. How do you power them if there are no wires? Simple. You use nanoparticles that self-assemble into antennas and circuits capable of harvesting RF and outputting a mild electric current.

How do you titrate the dosage to each person's brain? Simple. You use a source that can steer different beams of different dosages to different people's brains. 5G base stations are phased-array antennas with beamforming and MIMO. Problem solved.

But wait a minute, how do you localize the nanoparticles in the reward center of the brain? Simple! You look at the ratios of protein expression in different regions of the brain, and then you use a designer protein that opens the blood-brain barrier right at that specific point.

Let me translate that for you.

That's not a "translation", that's speculation, loosely (if at all) related to the quote.

Here is another James Giordano quote for you, since you seem to be very fond of him:

Quote
The physicians, the CDC, the public health service comes back and says "no, no, that's not what's going on". I get back on the internet and I say "don't you listen to that,  that's fake, that's false, your government knows what's going on, they can't do anything about it, they can't treat you, they're gonna end up quarantining you." How many people would I need to affect? We modeled it. Somewhere between 12 and 240. What would be the effect? In 41-45 days we would crash the United States public health system.

Seems like you got your 12+ here, good job. Using your own standard of evidence "someone mentioned it in a lecture so if we pick the right cherries we can claim that this thing exists and we're living it", that's definitive proof right here that you work for the Chinese government in furthering their bioweapon attack (which of course is also definitely real based on the same standard of evidence).

Or maybe you're full of shit like all conspiratards, albeit more capable to overwhelm your audience with big words and irrelevant links and quotes.

Again, for the people in the back.

Moderna was co-founded by Robert Langer.

Robert Langer was a colleague of Charles Lieber and worked with him on a paper on artificial cyborg tissue scaffolds for human hearts that could be used to assess heart health, among other things.

Charles Lieber was arrested for his undisclosed ties to the Wuhan University of Technology.

Charles Lieber's papers explicitly describe the use of nanotech to make brain-computer interfaces.

Charles Lieber had grants from DARPA, among other military think tanks.

DARPA are intensely researching BCI tech.

Policy experts linked to DARPA are describing the use of BCI tech to forcibly civilize people, to alter their mood and behavior, not just enhance the capabilities of soldiers.

This is not Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. They're all directly linked in a manner that is highly suspicious.

I will provide it, soon. I have to get some things in order. Someone is trying to impersonate me, unfortunately. They're claiming that they've got me for an interview. They do not. I never agreed to do any interview or stream or podcast or anything.

I am compiling a lot of documents and files on the pandemic, the response, and the big players in all this, but it's going to take time. I am a voracious reader, but there is still so much research to be done.

Just to set the tone, I'm going to share a passage from James Giordano's textbook, Neurotechnology in National Security and Defense - Practical Considerations, Neuroethical Concerns, which I have in hardcover.

Quote
This volume and book series address and reveal the reality that neuroscience and neurotechnology (neuro S/T) have become powerful forces that influence society, and are influenced by various social forces, and incur a host of ethico-legal and social issues. Recent governmental and commercial investments in brain science and neuroengineering reflect growing interest and enthuse advancement(s) in neuro S/T and the information, products, and potential power these disciplines may yield. A dimension of this power is derived from the prospect of using neuro S/T to define - and affect - human nature.

Quote
Until rather recently, most efforts toward global relations, as well as national and international security and defense, have focused upon social factors influencing human behaviors, including hostility and patterned violence. Given that these behaviors are devised and articulated by human factors, and humans are most accurately defined as biopsychosocial organisms that are embedded within and responsive to geocultural environments, it is important to address and discern those (neuro)biological factors that are affected by and interact with psychosocial variables to dispose and instigate hostility and violence. Neuro S/T provides techniques and tools that are designed to assess, access, and target these neurological substrates, which could be employed to affect the putative cognitive, emotional, and behavioral bases of human aggression, conflict, and warfare.

Let me translate that for you.

They are going to pacify (that is, "cyber-socialize") every human being on the planet completely. They are going to do this by injecting nanoparticles into people that cross the blood-brain barrier, which are activated by external transceivers and precisely stimulate regions in the brain involving mood, reward, anxiety, hostility, et cetera. This is why Blackrock and Vanguard and the like are buying up rural and suburban properties. They are herding people into cities because the infrastructure for mind control has to be concentrated there. It's too expensive to try and cover all of bumfuck Wyoming with phased-array antennas.

In World War III, the aggressors are governments and the targets are citizens. There is no actual conflict with China or anyone else. That's all pretend. If that war ever went hot, then the purpose would simply be to dispose of excess people. Our leaders all attended summits where they all agreed upon this. Not only would the population be reduced, but the remainder would be lobotomized with nanotech.

People thought that I was poisoning the well, or that this was some kind of limited hangout thing, by including those passages about mind control. They don't understand how far along the technology is, at all.

@Spartacus

I have seen some literature about how Nicotine stops other things from bonding to ACE receptors and that it could be a good counter to Covid..
Would you have any comments about that?

What about alcohol? As in recreational alcohol consumption.. What if any effect could you see that having on a Covid infection?


I am curious because I personally went through having Covid just a couple months ago, and I smoke, and I drink more than most people I suppose..
When I caught Covid I did not stop smoking or even smoke less, I took a Bayer aspirin a few times a day (thought it might help against heart troubles, and general soreness), and I bought a couple gallons of Merlot wine to quarantine with..

I smoked as usual and basically drank the wine all day every day in quarantine..
I had a headache for a day and body aches for about 2-3 days, and felt like I didn’t have a lot of energy for a couple days after that..
I also lost my taste and smell for about a week which then gradually came back..

I caught Covid along with 4-5 other coworkers at the same time of exposure..
I had the LEAST severe case out of all of us..
Some younger than me, some older, some in better shape (non-smoker/younger/non-drinker), some in worse shape (fatter)..
I had the least severe case of all..

Could it have had to do with me sipping wine and smoking the whole time? Nicotine and wine antioxidants?
Idk..

Btw we all caught it from someone who had both doses of the Pfizer vax, and he had almost no symptoms..
Ok so maybe he had less symptoms than me, but he was basically an unknowing spreader, who infected almost our entire crew..
I personally know well that vaccinated people can run around spreading Covid and no paper in the world will convince me otherwise..


Am I just super lucky and have good (French/German) genetics, or did I do something right?


Btw gave merits to both of you because I am enjoying your conversation..
A good debate is best to bring out truth, thanks both of you..
(Though I will remain skeptical that both of you could be paid shills, can’t trust anything these days)

There were some papers that indicated that smoking might be protective against COVID-19. This was based on an observation, early on, that smokers were underrepresented in severe COVID-19 cases in China, a country with a lot of dudes who smoke.

They wrote a paper on it that speculated that it was the nicotine:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7436654/

However, cigarette smoke itself also contains nitric oxide, and upregulates NOS expression, essentially acting as pulsed inhaled nitric oxide therapy:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10462035/

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12215243/

See also:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7276137/

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8117664/

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7754882/

There are other ways to raise systemic nitric oxide, like the enterosalivary dietary nitrate pathway, where intake of foods high in dietary nitrates (leafy greens and beets and the like) increases endothelial nitric oxide release.

The body cannot stockpile NO. It's a dissolved gas, and it's produced and consumed in pretty much the same instant, with a half-life of around 2 to 6 seconds. If something is preventing it from being produced (i.e. eNOS uncoupling due to peroxynitrite), you run out of NO very, very quickly.

Raising systemic nitric oxide levels actually makes it harder for SARS-like viruses to infect cells. In order for SARS-CoV-2 Spike to fuse with ACE2, it has to undergo a processing step called palmitoylation where fatty acids are attached to it. Nitric oxide cockblocks this. This is why fat, diabetic, hypertensive, old, and/or black people suffer from COVID-19 the worst. Their intrinsic endothelial dysfunction causes a shift in the redox equilibrium of their blood vessels, leaving them with less nitric oxide to go around.

You might have seen a bunch of shit-stirring articles going on about African-Americans suffering more severe COVID-19 because of "systemic inequality" in access to healthcare. This is bullshit. The disparity remains when you correct for wealth. It's the lower nitric oxide levels that come with endothelial dysfunction that's killing them.

I take a daily dosage within that range to successfully treat inflammation in a permanent, post-operative ligament injury, with success, and I experienced zero respiratory issues to speak of, during my infection.

The vaccines can be modified to target the Delta variant. Billions of people get yearly flu shots, which are modified every year, without any adverse effects.

That is true. But then again, SARS-CoV-2 is not the flu. It is an incredibly nasty betacoronavirus, every part of which is injurious to the human body, especially the Spike protein, which is responsible for many - but not all - of its pathogenic processes.

This next section you have written includes a lot of speculation. Yes, we know COVID causes sepsis. Yes, we know that sepsis create a lot of reactive oxygen species and free radicals. So we speculate that treating with anti-oxidants would help. But every reputable large study (as I linked to in my previous post) we have on this issue has shown no benefit with antioxidant treatments.

What I don't get is why we aren't seeing any results for many of these antioxidant trials.

No data posted on the outcomes at all. APX-115 was pushed as a potential treatment early on, but then, we heard nothing.

Some studies have suggested, I kid you not, beet juice. I recommend reading this one from start to finish, since it echoes many of the concerns I've had:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8340570/

Obviously I agree that people should stay fit and healthy, and if you want to take a vitamin C supplement, then knock yourself out. But we have no evidence that it (or other antioxidants) are an effective treatment for critically ill patients.

Micronutrient deficiency is endemic throughout the developed world. Given that 40% of Americans are Vitamin D deficient, some critically so (this gets worse the darker your skin is, with as many as 60% of Hispanics and 80% of African-Americans being Vitamin D deficient), there's no way that one Vitamin D pill a day could hurt. It could only help. Vitamin D helps lower anxiety, too.

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/brb3.1760

Personally, I recommend raising one's levels of Vitamins A, B, C, D, E, and dietary nitrate, and taking NAC, selenium, quercetin, resveratrol, and curcumin, but avoiding hypervitaminosis, which can cause fatigue. The best and most bioavailable sources of vitamins are foodstuffs, not pills.

The best thing for one's blood vessels is to just eat a damn salad instead of hyper-processed, hyper-palatable crap loaded with sugar. Fish for Vitamin D, kale, beets, celery, cabbage, spinach, and kimchi for dietary nitrate, brazil nuts for selenium, garlic for cysteine, and maybe some turmeric-spiced chicken.

Not everything has to be a depressing pill. We'd all be a lot better off if we made the personal choice to take the colorful snack food boxes filled with pressed, baked grains dusted with salt and paprika and throw them in the trash and start eating real food and exercising right. People would be living longer, healthier lives. 1,200,000+ people died of cancer and heart disease last year in the US, many of them preventable cases, but you don't hear about that in the news, do you?

I'm not denying the cycle of NETosis, hypochlorous acid, and heme destruction. And I'm also not denying the existence of VALI/VILI, which is well described in the literature. But you also made the following two statements:

Quote
Make no mistake, intubation will kill people who have COVID-19.
Quote
Pumping O2 into the lungs does not make RBCs chemically incapable of carrying O2 somehow magically capable of carrying it.

Yes this cycle happens, but not to such a degree that there is no functioning hemoglobin and that intubation and ventilation will not save the life of a critically hypoxic patient. To claim otherwise is dangerously wrong.

88% of the people intubated in New York died.

https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20200422/most-covid-19-patients-placed-on-ventilators-died-new-york-study-shows#1

During that outbreak, Dr. Cameron Kyle-Sidell vocally expressed concerns that they were using the wrong treatment.

https://z3news.com/w/dr-cameron-kylesidell-treating-wrong-disease-change/

Another study shows that 45% of patients intubated are dying.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7781141/

Granted, this is an intervention that is mostly reserved for critical cases that would otherwise have a fatal outcome. I recognize that. However, there has to be some manner of adjunct therapy that can protect the tissues from damage. Suctioning these people, having tons of blood and goo come out of them periodically, and then going right back to pumping air into their abused lungs, that cannot be good for lung physiology.

COVID-19 is an endotheliitis. It inflames small capillaries in the pulmonary alveoli and makes them more vulnerable to mechanical stretching. Also, at the same time, it causes coagulopathy, because endothelial cells are sloughing off and exposing the basement membrane and there's a lot of release of clotting factors due to all the inflammation. So, when they start pumping these people up with blood thinners, they're balancing anticoagulation with hemorrhage. I heard of one rather horrific case of a teenage hispanic male in NY who died of intestinal hemorrhage because they kept pumping him up with heparin, but when they stopped heparin, he started clotting up again. Yes, that's a thing that actually happens with this virus.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7446989/

I don't deny that COVID-19 is real, or that it can be deadly. A lot of people who are against the vaccine don't even think COVID-19 is real at all. They think it's a rebranded flu, or that it has never been isolated and sequenced, or that people with heart attacks and strokes are being relabeled COVID-19 deaths, without realizing that this virus can unironically cause people's D-dimer to shoot up to 20,000 ng/ml and turn their blood into syrup, especially if they're old or have had prior clotting disorders.

None of these papers describe a flu. What they describe is something maddening in its complexity and multifarious in its manifestations.

What frustrates me is the lack of mainstream media coverage of the deeper complexities of COVID-19's pathology. They haven't cleared anything up at all. There are articles here and there that give an accurate enough picture, but they're easily missed. Every talking head is still presenting COVID-19 as an airborne pneumonia and not an airborne blood vessel disease, almost two years into this.

We do this already. Everyone who comes through the door gets dexamethasone and remdesivir pretty much immediately. If they require HFNO or NIV they also get tocilizumab. Intubation is always a last resort. You can see national treatment guidelines here:

Why do I keep hearing about symptomatic people being sent home, and then coming back in severe or critical condition, then?

A good friend of mine died on one of those ventilators. I hadn't seen him in a few years and I was hoping to meet up with him. This is kind of personal for me, and I may have gotten a little heated up.

The meta-analysis I linked in my previous post (https://www.bmj.com/content/373/bmj.n949) examined ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine as both pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis, and found no evidence of efficacy for either drug.

Why do I keep seeing studies showing a benefit, then?

I'm not entirely sure what points you are trying to make with your section regarding the vaccine (even ignoring your obvious conspiracy nonsense at the bottom). If you are worried about the vaccine producing the S1 subunits, then what do you think happens with an active COVID infection? If you are worried about the spike protein itself, then why would you not want to avoid the cascade of it you would get with a COVID infection, which is several orders of magnitude higher than what you would get with a vaccine? I mean, the quote that you shared even specifically says "post-infection of COVID-19 includes a myriad of neurologic symptoms including neurodegeneration". Why would you not want to avoid this by taking the vaccine?

Yes. You are correct. The protein is also harmful when the virus produces it in the body, and a lot of people who recovered from seemingly mild cases of COVID-19 may go on to have premature neurodegenerative disease as part of the nasty, SARS-like sequelae it inflicts. But try telling people that.

There was something that, as yet, I have not mentioned in my letter, but will likely make it into the next draft. There has been a reliable antidote to all of this, all along. One that doesn't involve having mRNA that codes for SARS-CoV-2 Spike, a pathogenic protein, injected into the body. It's called DRACO and it was funded by DARPA about a decade ago. They were looking for a means of inoculating soldiers against pandemic bioweapons. Any bioweapon. Even one that had never been seen before. An antivirus so effective, it may as well be called a universal vaccine.

https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0022572

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PO6I00ZQcMI

DRACO, or Double-Stranded RNA Activated Caspase Oligomerizer, is a recombinant fusion protein that consists of a protein with a domain that hunts for viral double-stranded RNA bound end-to-end with a protein with an apoptosis-inducing domain, with HIV TAT added to allow it to slip right in past cell membranes. When injected into a living creature, the DRACOs enter basically all of their cells. If the protein detects no viral dsRNA in a cell, it does nothing and is non-toxic. If it encounters some, multiple DRACOs start binding to it, and then procaspases bind and crosslink on their exposed ends.

It's basically a little protein limpet mine that forces all infected cells in the body to self-destruct. It's non-toxic to healthy cells and persists in the body for about a week.

After DARPA funded the project for a while, the inventor demonstrated that it worked very well in mice (see that paper above), but then, all the funding dried up. Poof. Dr. Rider's Templeton Foundation grant fell through in a reorganization, and he resorted to basically begging for money on Indiegogo. An absolutely bizarre end for a concept that showed efficacy both in vitro in cell cultures, and in vivo in lab mice, and which was hailed as a discovery as important as Penicillin in popsci mags around ten years ago.

If my data are cherry picked, then where are all the data showing that vaccines don't work?

SARS-CoV-2 has non-human reservoirs and is now endemic. It will never go away. Period. It cannot be eradicated by vaccination, and anyone telling you it can be straight-up eradicated like smallpox with a high level of vaccination is lying. The current agenda of boosters will lead, inevitably, to bi-yearly shots, because the vaccine antibodies are waning within 6 months.

There is a preprint paper indicating that current SARS-CoV-2 strains are about to completely escape antibodies produced by these vaccines, and that the antibodies may even become non-neutralizing and infection-enhancing:

I tried raising the alarm on this back in February of 2020 and it went mostly ignored.

Vaccines failing due to inducing immune sensitization has a historical precedent in the recent past. Sanofi's Dengvaxia vaccine failed because it triggered enhanced disease.

The MATH+ protocol is written by a scan organization, provides no data to support their recommendations, and is headed by individuals with vested interests in the fake treatments they recommend. Looking at the treatments they and you are suggesting:

Vitamin C:
There are no controlled trials that have definitively demonstrated a clinical benefit for vitamin C in critically ill patients with COVID-19, and the available observational data are inconclusive.

People with COVID-19 hyperinflammation are suffering from a form of sepsis.

https://www.healthleadersmedia.com/clinical-care/expert-severe-covid-19-illness-viral-sepsis

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34590796/

It has previously been suggested that antioxidants are useful for treating sepsis, because sepsis involves the over-activity of pro-oxidant enzymes that the body uses to fight infection.

https://journals.lww.com/ccmjournal/Abstract/2007/09001/Antioxidant_supplementation_in_sepsis_and_systemic.25.aspx

It is entirely possible that COVID-19 hyperinflammation is, much like Keshan disease, a disease of low antioxidant capacity (redox equilibrium issues in the body due to chronic oxidative stress, i.e., endothelial dysfunction) that can be counteracted by raising levels of antioxidant substrates, such as selenium, glutathione, et cetera.

Many people who died of COVID-19 had issues pointing towards low antioxidant capacity. Low Vitamin D, low glutathione, low selenium, and so on.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7385774/

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7937041/

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32463221/

This points to an inescapable conclusion; COVID-19 causes death by aggressive lipid peroxidation brought on by sepsis.

Though antioxidants seem like a logical counter to this (in South Korea, they tested the NADPH oxidase inhibitor APX-115 against the virus), there is no guarantee that they will have bioavailability to the affected cells. I'm not completely gung-ho about it; I understand that there are serious challenges involved here, and that what looks promising on paper may not always improve a patient's condition.

People are hunting for a magic bullet for COVID-19, but no such magic bullet exists. In my opinion, the best prophylaxis against COVID-19 is a balanced, micronutrient-rich diet, strenuous exercise, and maintaining a healthy BMI, because this induces physiological changes in the vasculature that make them more resilient (it raises nitric oxide levels and antioxidant capacity and reduces oxidative stress). This is reflected by evidence. COVID-19's severity is GREATLY enhanced with increasing body mass index.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1262363620300975?via%3Dihub

This isn't just a get-healthy-quick pill. It's a lifestyle change. It's also why I recommend against lockdowns, and perhaps for more aggressive distancing (as in 15+ feet) to compensate. A good, solid crosswind will blow any aerosols away, and UV from direct sunlight will degrade and destroy the virions. The greatest risk of transmission is mostly indoors, in tightly-packed rooms with stagnant air.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7673425/

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8305330/

People should be outdoors, they should be jogging and biking, and they should be maintaining a high activity level. Becoming sedentary makes COVID-19 infections way, way worse. It turns the blood vessels into a buffet table for the virus.

Fluvoxamine:
No evidence. Biggest ongoing trial to date (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/study/NCT04668950) has just reported "No treatment effect" on early results.

That's disappointing, if true. I have been in contact with pharmacology experts who claimed anecdotal evidence for fluvoxamine improving patients' conditions, but there do have to be well-designed clinical trials to show whether or not it has any benefit. There are many plausible mechanisms by which fluvoxamine may improve a patient's condition.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8094534/

Budesonide does have some evidence, but it is inferior to IV dexamethasone which we have been using for all our inpatients for months.

Again, disappointing. Also, a little odd, given how promising it seemed before.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33844996/

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8310374/

The links in your original letter consider these drugs in the context of rodent peptic ulcers, among other things. Hardly applicable to humans with COVID.

Not necessarily true. Those papers describe a mechanism. While I would never argue that rodent gastric cells are the same thing as human airway or vascular epithelial or endothelial cells, there are many features that are homogenous between different eukaryotic cell lines, and an effect demonstrated in one type of cell might also be applicable to another. It's not conclusive proof of therapeutic effect, but it does point towards a fresh avenue of study.

The problem I have is that these drugs aren't really being studied as aggressively as they should be. There should be more trials of antioxidants, not just one or two here and there. They keep pushing antivirals that don't seem to work on hyperinflammatory COVID-19, when, at the very least, antioxidants have a plausible therapeutic mechanism. You'll never know if you never look.

I don't think any one drug will treat this on its own, but perhaps a cocktail of these may provide a marginal benefit. The trouble is that hyperinflammatory COVID-19 is a real son of a bitch.

There's some truth in this, but not to degree you state. If there was enough hypochlorous acid to destroy hemoglobin to such a degree, why do we not see a severe hyperchloremic acidosis?

See the following:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7757048/

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3222650/

This would be a logical result of neutrophilia and NETosis in COVID-19. Let's review the papers on that for a moment.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8376580/

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S221249262030052X

Okay, so there are lots of NETs around. More than macrophages can reasonably be expected to clean up in a reasonable time frame. So, there is going to be a lot of extracellular myeloperoxidase lying around, making hypochlorous acid from hydrogen peroxide and chloride ions.

This would, necessarily, lead to the liberation of iron and tons of Fenton reagent lying around.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33974898/

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7836924/

Though metabolic and respiratory alkalosis are more common, some critically-ill COVID-19 patients who died did indeed have severe acidosis.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7236721/

Why do we not see profound anemia due to hemoglobin destruction?

Decreased serum hemoglobin and increased serum ferritin have been found in COVID-19:

Why does intubation and proning make the SpO2 go from 70% to 95%? Why does it make the PaO2 go from 60 mm Hg to 120 mm Hg?

Trying to claim that intubation and ventilation is actively killing people is just plain incorrect.

I said, in the letter, that it was a catch-22, because you need oxygen to live. Intubation does increase oxygenation, but also causes VILI-like damage and additional oxidative stress alongside that.

It's not just a blood problem. The blood-air barrier itself and gas exchange across it are also compromised due to the endothelial injury itself:

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/21688370.2021.1937013?journalCode=ktib20

ARDS/Acute Lung Injury involves a great deal of neutrophilia in the pulmonary vasculature and oxidative damage to the tissues.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6801694/

Quote
Overproduction of oxidants and decrease in antioxidants lead to oxidation changes and cross-linking of proteins, lipids, DNA, and carbohydrates, deterioration of cell structures and their function, increased endothelial permeability and lung oedema formation, pulmonary epithelial dysfunction with impaired sodium ion transport and fluid reabsorption from the alveoli etc. [12]. In addition to intrinsically generated oxidants derived from phagocytic cells (recruited neutrophils and residential lung macrophages) and alveolar epithelial and endothelial cells [13], additional important source of oxidants is an inhalation of high oxygen concentrations used for mechanical ventilation of patients with severe ARDS [14].

Highly concentrated oxygen, like from mechanical ventilation, makes the oxidative stress of ARDS worse. In a virus like SARS-CoV-2 that suppresses antioxidant defenses of cells, this exacerbates the lipid peroxidation.

There are heaps of evidence that this is occurring.

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41420-020-00369-w

Ferroptosis can be classified into canonical and non-canonical types to date. Canonical ferroptosis is started with the failure of glutathione peroxidase (GPX4) defense, leading to excessive lipid peroxidation and cell death18. Inactivation of GPX4 and glutathione (GSH) depletion play a central role in the induction of canonical ferroptosis18,19. Iron (II) oxidizes lipids in the Fenton reaction (hydrogen peroxide, iron and lipid) is the hallmark feature of ferroptosis, thereby generating lipid ROS, causing cell membrane damage17,18,19. GPX4 eliminates lipid ROS by consuming GSH and protects cell membrane against lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis18. Moreover, cystine/glutamate transporter (xCT) is responsible for providing cystine to produce GSH for GPX4 to function normally. Iron is an important metal in cells. But there is no efficient mechanism for excreting iron in the human body and, as a result, iron homeostasis is vulnerable to stresses.

Since the WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic, a great effort has been made to understand this serious disease. Thousands of studies are being devoted to understanding its epidemiology, its molecular characteristics, its mechanisms, and the clinical evolution of this viral infection. However, little has been published on its pathogenesis and the host response mechanisms in the progress of the disease. Therefore, we propose a hypothesis based on strong scientific documentation, associating oxidative stress with changes found in patients with COVID-19, such as its participation in the amplification and perpetuation of the cytokine storm, coagulopathy, and cell hypoxia. Finally, we suggest a therapeutic strategy to reduce oxidative stress using antioxidants, NF-κB inhibitors, Nrf2 activators, and iron complexing agents. We believe that this hypothesis can guide new studies and therapeutic strategies on this topic.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8106525/

To determine NO-derived oxidants, we measured systemic levels of nitrotyrosine in the plasma from healthy controls and COVID-19 patients (Fig. 5). Nitrotyrosine levels were significantly higher among patients with COVID-19 compared to healthy controls (107.049 ± 7.907 nM vs 44.7606 ± 12.85 nM; P<0.0001; Fig. 5A). Analysis by race showed a significant increase in nitrotyrosine levels both in Caucasian COVID-19 patients (108.2 ± 13.62 nM vs 48.54 ± 16.92 nM; p = 0.01; Fig. 5B), and in African Americans COVID-19 patients (106.2 ± 10.01 nM vs 40.69 ± 22.01 nM; p = 0.006; Fig. 5C) compared to respective race matched controls.

Elevated serum nitrotyrosine = lots of peroxynitrite = lots of superoxide depleting nitric oxide = oxidative stress. It's a smoking gun.

Venting without protecting the cells from this lipid peroxidation will increase the inflammation and edema and make gas exchange across the capillaries even worse.

Treating sepsis is time-sensitive, because once lipid hydroperoxides are allowed to form, they recursively create inflammation and more lipid peroxidation in a positive feedback loop (PRRs pick up the signature of oxidatively-modified lipids, and the body starts forming autoantibodies against those lipids). Late treatments do nothing.

Early and proactive use of antioxidants, steroids, and non-invasive ventilation would likely render intubation pointless.

OK, so show me the randomized control trials which show ivermectin is an effective prophylactic. There is currently no evidence for this either:
Owing to very low certainty of evidence, the effect of ivermectin, compared with standard care, in reducing the risk of suspected, probable, or laboratory confirmed infection remains very uncertain; the certainty of evidence was rated down because of serious risk of bias and very serious imprecision.

I'm happy consider any treatment provided there is some evidence it works. You have failed to provide that evidence.

See for yourself who they enrolled for all the RCTs the media is citing as proof of the ineffectiveness of antivirals, like Oxford's completely botched RECOVERY study.

These studies virtually all enroll people who have COVID-19 hyperinflammation, have been symptomatic for around a week or more, and have been hospitalized. I have already explained why this is futile. The virus is gone. And I mean, it's gone. It's too late.

Figure 1. Course of COVID-19 and clinical benefits of antivirals. Following an incubation period of 3–6 days, SARS-CoV-2 infection generates a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations ranging from asymptomatic infection and mild illness to severe disease with high mortality. Viral load peaks around the day of symptom onset and rapidly declines thereafter. Accordingly, antiviral drugs like remdesivir (RDV) will only be effective early in infection when the number of new cells that become infected is still high. Antibody levels increase gradually and are commonly detectable after 7–14 days. Excessive immune responses, which may be curtailed by immunosuppressive agents like corticosteroids, lead to organ damage, intensive care admission, or death. Adopted from [19].

The same complaints are echoed by the COVID-19 Early Treatment Fund.

This widespread failure-to-treat is what is leading to unnecessary fatalities. Early outpatient treatment has not been tried on a large scale.

An article written by a computer scientist and a practitioner of "energy medicine", published in a fake journal which is not listed in PubMed, has no publisher, has literally zero impact factor, which is ran by a young Earth creationist and a lawyer who sues vaccine companies on behalf of "victims". And even then, they still state "there are no studies demonstrating definitively that this is happening". Roll Eyes

Come on. You seem smart enough to realize just how disingenuous and dishonest something like this is.

Very well, then. I shall go over my concerns in brief, citing my own letter (which, in turn, cites many other files).

https://mega.nz/file/HZNmyRKB#xF15FrsAEZkwBPi4tdUP5toBBqeRHDJJAHzZt6Hg_Qg

-The vaccine is not sterilizing and does not prevent transmission. The vaccinated are still contagious to others. This means that the virus no longer has any pressure to become less virulent; mutations that could be lethal to the unvaccinated may only cause a mild increase in illness in the vaccinated.

-Natural immunity from a prior infection results in antibodies to all of the virus's proteins, not just one.

-All of the current COVID-19 vaccines have undergone highly accelerated trial periods, not allowing any time for long-term side effects to appear.

-Messenger RNA vaccines, which deliver the active form of genes to cells to synthesize viral proteins and produce an antigen response that way, have never been tested in humans before. In Moderna's case, mRNA-1273 is actually their first-ever commercial product. Would you willingly put a company's first-ever product in your body?

-The production and validation of these vaccines involved fetal cell lines, which some may object to.

-The lipid nanoparticles from the mRNA vaccines have been shown to bioaccumulate all over the body, and do not stay in the shoulder.

-The PEGylated lipid nanoparticles in mRNA vaccines can occasionally trigger severe allergic reactions.

-Damaged mRNA can stall ribosomes by getting jammed in them, causing ribosome attrition and reduced protein synthesis.

-The method of making SARS-CoV-2 Spike inert, inserting prolines on the S1/S2 boundary to rigidly lock the trimers in the prefusion conformation, does not take into account any unexpected proteolysis or further processing of the Spike proteins by the body that may release the S1 subunits, allowing them to travel freely around the body and bind to things.

-SARS-CoV-2 Spike is, in itself, a pathogenic protein, capable of binding to ACE2, integrins, neuropilin-1, and bacterial LPS. It can induce autoantibody responses against healthy tissue, overactivate T-cells with a SAg region, penetrate the blood-brain barrier, and bind to heparin-binding proteins and induce amyloid aggregation and possible neurodegeneration, among many other unknown and possibly pathogenic effects.

-SARS-CoV-2 may have ADE, which means that a future strain may cause antibodies from vaccines based on the sequence of previous strains to become non-neutralizing, turning them into trojan horses that help virions infect leukocytes they would not have otherwise been able to infect.

-Messenger RNA that codes for Modified SARS-CoV-2 Spike may be integrated into the genome of cells by endogenous LINE-1 reverse transcription. There is a plausible mechanism whereby it can integrate itself into your DNA. That means that this is, in fact, potentially a gene delivery system.

Out of all of these, the most appalling thing is this:

We show that intravenously injected radioiodinated S1 (I-S1) readily crossed the blood-brain barrier in male mice, was taken up by brain regions and entered the parenchymal brain space.

The post-infection of COVID-19 includes a myriad of neurologic symptoms including neurodegeneration. Protein aggregation in brain can be considered as one of the important reasons behind the neurodegeneration. SARS-CoV-2 Spike S1 protein receptor binding domain (SARS-CoV-2 S1 RBD) binds to heparin and heparin binding proteins. Moreover, heparin binding accelerates the aggregation of the pathological amyloid proteins present in the brain. In this paper, we have shown that the SARS-CoV-2 S1 RBD binds to a number of aggregation-prone, heparin binding proteins including Aβ, α-synuclein, tau, prion, and TDP-43 RRM. These interactions suggests that the heparin-binding site on the S1 protein might assist the binding of amyloid proteins to the viral surface and thus could initiate aggregation of these proteins and finally leads to neurodegeneration in brain. The results will help us to prevent future outcomes of neurodegeneration by targeting this binding and aggregation process.

Not good. Huge red flag. As in, do not inject this shit into your body unless you've already written your will and were planning to check out in a few years anyway.

And the rest of your links go the same way as this one, and the same way as your original letter - off the deep end of conspiracy theories with absolutely no supporting evidence or facts.

You said there was no proof that mind-controlling nanoparticles existed. I showed you that not only do they exist, and not only did James Giordano give presentations about them before an entire class of stunned cadets at West Point, they are described explicitly in publicly-available materials.

Not only that, DARPA, DTRA, and vaccine researchers are intimately connected both to brain-computer interface research, and to GOF research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

The degrees of separation here are minuscule. When plotted out on a node graph, they would all cluster together. David Martin and M-CAM showed, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that GOF SARS strains and their features are basically patented products.

That's not a conspiracy theory. That is a RICO case the size of Mount Everest. It is also mass murder and treason.
